Read 1 Corinthians 9:24-27What words would you use to describe our society?

Materialistic, sensual, impatient, indulgent, undisci-plined--these are just a few. We're also a "have it now"culture. Satan specializes in presenting us with oppor-

tunities for instant gratification while promising us that indulging our appetites will bring us the satis-faction we seek. Human appetites, in themselves, are not sinful. In fact, they're God-given. However, because of ourfleshly weaknesses, they need to be controlled. When our appetites rule us, we're in trouble. Paul likenedthe Christian life to that of athletes who are so focused on winning the race that they exercise self-controlin every area of their lives. That's exactly how we're called to live, yet we lack the motivation, determination, and power to do soin our own strength. For this reason, we need to rely on the Holy Spirit within us. If we yield our lives toHim and step out in obedience to His promptings, we'll have the strength to say no when fleshly desiresfeel overpowering (Gal. 5:16). Another key to success is keeping our focus on the eternal instead of the temporal. Many decisionsthat seem mundane are in fact spiritually significant. Are you indulging an appetite that could result inthe sacrifice of an imperishable reward in heaven? When the Enemy tempts us, he always tries to keep our attention on our desire and the pleasure of in-dulgence rather than on the eternal rewards and blessings we're forfeiting. Just remind yourself howquickly immediate gratification wanes and how long eternity lasts.

themselves, that would equate tobetter work in the classroom thushaving higher standardized testscores. This may be good in theorybut it has had a negative effect onour children.

First, they did not distinguishbetween self-concept and self-es-teem. Many use these term inter-changeably but there is adifference. Secondly, they falsifiedthe children’s self-concept. No mat-ter the quality of work that wasdone, the adults told the childrenthey had done well. This beganover 25 years ago on the WestCoast and has now spread acrossour nation.

Our children are growing up notknowing what a “good job” really is.I have witnessed these changesover the course of my educationalcareer. There are ways of combat-ing this situation we now find our-selves in but it will take everyone’sefforts to do so.

As adults, we owe it to our chil-dren and ourselves to raise and ed-ucate our children so they can trulybe successful in their lifetimes.

our children is important to every-one in our community, state andnation. If effects the youngest childto the most elderly person.

It is obvious how it effects chil-dren, but doe it effect the rest of us?As the saying goes, “Our childrenare our future.” What and how ourchildren learn will have a lastingeffect on them for the rest of theirlives. They will become our futuredoctors, teachers, service providers,etc. How well our future leadersare developed will developed willdetermine the quality of life we allwill have.

I have no doubt most every par-ent and educator wants the best forour young people. What is best forthem may be the real question wemust ask ourselves.

About 30 years ago some well in-tended but miss guided people,came up with a plan to elevate thisnation’s test scores to better com-pete with other industrial nationsaround the globe.

Their plan was to raise everychild’s self-esteem. The theory was,if our children thought better of

Crys-tal and her brother and his wife,Gary and April, have also sched-uled a trip to the northern part ofMinnesota to visit Marj and Mar-vin Street. On Tuesday, Crystaltook her mom, Dolores Obr, toRapid City for a doctor appoint-ment as a follow up to Dolores’ re-cent cataract eye surgery. Thingsare going well, and Dolores hasclose to 20/20 vision for distanceviewing. Close up isn’t as good yet,but new glasses are expected tohelp a lot and will be prescribedafter the next appointment in aweek or so. Lonny Johnston has been doingsome farming this week as well asattending brandings. He prefersthe cattle work but said the otherhas to be done as well. Larry and Joy Dolezal traveledwest this weekend, picked upgranddaughter, Sarah DeVries,and toured the mammoth-dig siteat Hot Springs. Next weekend theyexpect to be in Belle Fourche towatch their granddaughter, KaylaNemec, graduate from high school.

Other than that, Larry has beengoing to brandings fairly often andJoy is back to helping at 1880Town. Until the summer help ar-rives, the local people are beingkept fairly busy running the place. Jamie Dolezal and son Travisspent the weekend in Ft. Pierre vis-iting Jamie’s mom, Pam Sinkey.Besides it being Mother’s Dayweekend, another draw was thatJamie’s sister, Amanda, was alsothere from Sioux Falls and had hertwo-week-old baby that neededquite a bit of holding and spoiling.John, meanwhile, attended abranding as he has been doingquite regularly of late. On Satur-day, John and his dad, Larry, andJamie’s dad, Kirby Schofield,helped with branding at Ted Vobr’s. Ronda Dennis went to Pierrewith Jo and Jenny Johnston onSaturday; Larry and Rick went toTed Vobr’s to help with branding. Sunday morning Jo plantedflowers and Ronda planted her veg-etable garden. Once the work wasdone, the two families, along withMary Johnston, went fishing. Jory Rodgers will be done withschool for the summer later thisweek. Before that, however, he will

go on a three-day school outing atOutlaw Ranch near Custer whichwill be partly a science field day.His mom, Jo, hopes he won’t getlost in the Hills. This weekend,Jory stayed with his aunt, Jamie,at Wasta. Jamie took him to an ex-hibition basketball game in RapidCity between the Denver Broncoteam and the Rapid City Jaycees. Kenny and Wade Fox spent theweekend branding. Kenny helpedMark Williams on Friday and JerryGrimes on Saturday. Wade helpedLyle O’Bryan on Friday and TedVobr on Saturday. Roxie, mean-while, stayed home and did chores.Kenny said the brand board willmeet this week. They had proposedraising the cattle inspection feefrom eighty cents to a dollar perhead, but that proposal has beentabled for now. A ten-cent raise isstill a possibility, however. Syd Iwan, Ted Vobr and Jim Ad-dison held their branding at theriver ranch on Saturday and had agreat day for it. The weather wasexcellent and things went well ex-cept, possibly, for a couple critterswho refused to be rounded up andanother that broke out. Over three-dozen people turned out to help.

Temptations are all around us.Sometimes they’re hard to resist.Consider the bright idea I had theother day while sipping on somepomegranate juice. This is fairlypotent stuff and needs to be sippedinstead of gulped. Anyway, it oc-curred to me that it might be funto substitute pomegranate juice forgrape juice in the little cups forcommunion at church. The color ofthe two beverages is similar so itwould be easy enough to pull off. Afew raised eyebrows and the occa-sional startled look might be enjoy-able to observe. Alas, such pranksare not in keeping with the solem-nity of the situation so I had to dis-card the idea. It is also the time of year to buyplants for the yard and gardensince seasonal greenhouses havepopped up by the grocery andhardware stores and various otherplaces. The temptation is to buytoo much and have to take care ofa zillion green things from nowuntil frost this fall. Well, I re-strained myself the other day andjust bought a few geraniums fordecoration and two large pottedpatio tomatoes. The tomatoes costa bit over ten bucks apiece so weresomewhat pricey, but I had twosimilar ones last year that almostmade back their cost in produce. Itsomehow seemed like I reallyshould have three instead of twothis time around, but that impulsewas satisfactorily stifled I’m happyto report. All that self-control, ofcourse, might have been helped bythe fact that only two of my fa-vorite determinate variety wereavailable and the rest would havegrown huge and had to be repottedinstead of being kept in their orig-inal pots. Sweets are another commoditythat beckon many of us tooverindulge. Chocolate-chip cook-ies come to mind. I just made adouble batch of those for ourbranding, and I may have sampleda few more than strictly necessaryto test for wholesomeness and fla-vor. I do adore a good chocolate-chip cookie. Most weeks I also cooksome goodies for the coffee timeafter church, and too much of thatcomes home with me if the goodfolks on Sunday don’t finish it off.I try to give most of the excessaway, but I quite like some of thedesserts and tend to drag them

back home with me. Brownies,Rice-Krispie treats, and bananacake with peanut-butter cream-cheese frosting might fall in thatlatter category. C o m -puter games, too, can distract usfrom more worthy pursuits. I don’tknow what the big attraction thereis, but I have been known to sitlooking at a flickering computerscreen for longer than strictly nec-essary. It’s an enjoyable way toavoid doing such useful things aspaying bills, washing dishes, oranything else you should be doingbut would rather not. Fortunately for me, I am not at-tracted to intoxicating beverages. Idon’t like the taste, and even smallamounts of them tend to make myears turn red and burn. Neither doI like losing control of my facilities.With my somewhat compulsivepersonality, this is probably just aswell. I figure I have enough troubleacting sensibly on a good day with-out imbibing substances that havebeen known to make people actfairly silly. Neither does TV viewing domuch for me at present. The newsprograms depress or upset me.Many of the so-called comedies arenot particularly funny or else pres-ent a view of life that doesn’tmatch mine. Mysteries and dra-mas can be entertaining, but I sel-dom can get through them withoutbeing distracted and losing theconcentration needed to reallyenjoy them. Sometimes I watch amovie on a CD since I can startand stop it if necessary to dealwith other things, but regular houror longer shows are more frustrat-ing than enjoyable. Many times, aswell, I flip through all hundred-some channels currently available,find nothing to catch my interest,and go read a book instead or prac-tice the piano. Anyway, temptations are allaround and have to be dealt with.I’d rather just drift along doingwhatever comes to mind, but thatisn’t always the best course. Inother words, it looks like the strug-gle will have to continue betweendoing what I want and what Ishould do. Good luck in dealingwith your own particular tempta-tions, but especially watch out fortomato plants and chocolate-chipcookies. They are really hard to re-sist.

The poem, “In Flanders Field”,written in 1915 by Col. John Mc-Crae, brings to mind the battle-fields of World War I, when wearysoldiers brought home the memoryof a barren landscape transformedby wild poppies, red as the bloodthat soaked the soil, the poppy be-came a symbol of the sacrifice oflives in war, and called on the hopethat none had died in vain.

American Legion Auxiliary vol-unteers will distribute the familiarred, handcrafted poppies honoringAmerica’s war dead on Wednesday,May 23, in Kadoka, designated asPoppy Day by Jackson County Unit27. The annual event pays tributeto those veterans who have died inpast wars. It also honors the mil-lions of Americans who have will-ingly served their country.

All proceeds of the distributionare used for the benefit of veteransand their families. The memorialpoppy is never sold, but given in ex-change for a contribution. Eachnine-piece poppy is made by veter-ans in Auxiliary-sponsored poppyshops that supplement physicaland psychological therapy need byhospitalized veterans. Kadoka’spoppies are made in the veterans’facilities in Hot Springs. The Aux-iliary provides the materials andthe volunteers. The veteran makesthe poppy and is paid a smallamount for the painstakingly-madeflower.

The American Legion and Auxil-iary can trace its poppy days backto November 1918, when MonaMichael was so moved by Col. Mc-Crae’s poem that she wrote a re-sponse: “The blood of heroes neverdies, but lends a luster to the red,of the flower that blooms above thedead, In Flanders Field.” Shespearheaded a campaign thatwould result in the adoption of thepoppy as the national symbol ofsacrifice. Please be one of the manywho proudly wear a poppy over theMemorial Day weekend.

South Dakotans turn to newspa-pers first for local news and infor-mation, as well as informationabout where to shop locally, accord-ing to a recent statewide survey of500 adults. South Dakota newspapers out-pace all other media as the numberone source for local news. Thestate’s 119 weeklies and 11 dailiesalso are the first place SouthDakotans go for local retail adver-tising information. The random phone survey of 500adults was completed in late 2011by Pulse Research of Portland, Ore.The survey was commissioned bySouth Dakota Newspaper Associa-tion. “Newspapers supply the trustedcontent, both news and advertis-ing, readers are looking for,” saidSDNA President Lucy Halverson,publisher of the Lyman CountyHerald, Presho. “Newspapers inSouth Dakota are an integral partof their community and will con-tinue to be well into the future.” South Dakota daily and weeklynewspapers and their websites arethe number one source for localnews and information for morethan two-thirds of the adults whoparticipated in the Pulse Researchsurvey. Almost half of the survey respon-dents said they look to newspapersfirst for local retail advertising in-formation, far outpacing all othermedia choices. Among some of the other key re-sponses from the statewide sur-vey – 74 percent of South Dakotansread their local newspaper. At leasttwo adults per household read eachissue of South Dakota newspapers. When asked about the credibilityand believability of informationthey read in newspapers, SouthDakotans ranked their local news-papers higher than in previousyears when the same survey ques-tion was asked. The average age of South

Dakotans who read newspapers is45. Almost two-thirds of SouthDakota newspaper readers have atleast some level of post-secondaryeducation. The average householdincome of South Dakota newspaperreaders is $59,458. Sixty percentare married. Pulse Research, Inc., completed500 phone interviews with SouthDakota adults between October 24-31, 2011. Every South Dakotacounty was represented in thephone survey. South Dakota Newspaper Associ-ation, founded in 1882 and based inBrookings, represents 130 weeklyand daily newspapers with a totalreadership of more than 600,000.

J. Dudley Butler, former Admin-istrator of the U.S. Department ofAgriculture (USDA) Grain Inspec-tion, Packers and Stockyards Ad-ministration (GIPSA), will make apublic appearances in SouthDakota this month. Butler willhold a meeting at 7:00 p.m., Cen-tral Daylight Time, at the FortPierre Livestock Auction in FortPierre, SD, on May 18. Butler will inform the publicabout his efforts as GIPSA chief toprevent the vertical integration ofthe U.S. cattle industry - what But-ler characterized as the "chick-enization" of cattle production - bythe largely unregulated meatpack-ing industry. "Cattle producers and the com-munities they support need toknow what is going on behind thescenes to literally strip independ-ent cattle producers of their eco-nomic independence," Butler saidadding, "I'm going to tell area cattleproducers what I know about thecurrent state of competition intheir industry and suggest whatthey should do to preserve their in-dependence, before it's too late." The meeting with Butler is opento the public, will include questionsand answers, and are jointly spon-sored by the Independent Beef As-sociation of North Dakota(IBAND), the South Dakota Stock-growers Association (SDSGA), andR-CALF USA.

Foliar Fungicides on HailDamaged Wheat?

Several areas in South Dakotarecently received hail damage,which raises the question of apply-ing foliar fungicides to damagedwheat. Growers may think it isnecessary to do so, as the hail dam-age could make the plant moresusceptible to fungal diseases.There is a grain of truth to that,but there is more to consider thanprotecting the plants from fungaldiseases and foliar fungicidescould do more harm than good.

For one thing, the yield poten-tial of the crop is a major consider-ation in foliar fungicideapplications, and hail damage willlikely lower that. Secondly, foliarfungicide applications will controlbeneficial fungi as well as control-ling fungi that cause wheat dis-eases. These beneficial fungi canbe helpful in controlling bacterialleaf spot, which has been a bigproblem in recent years, and forwhich no chemical control is avail-able.

Finally, many foliar fungicidescontain additives that can weakenthe protective layer on the leaf sur-face, which can also make themmore susceptible to bacterial leafspot.

Assessing HailDamaged Wheat

Hail has already damagedwheat in South Dakota, and ofcourse more hail can occur thistime of year. If you have hail insur-ance, the obvious thing to do iscontact your insurance agent to re-port a potential claim. With the ex-ception of severely damaged crops,the standard practice at thisgrowth stage is to wait 8-10 daysand/or until the wheat plants haveheaded or tried to shoot a head andfailed before assessment. Manyfields have stems that have bentover above the head that hasn’temerged, and there is seriousquestion as to whether the headwill be able to emerge.

If you don’t have hail insurance

and have slight to moderate dam-age, it is still advisable to wait sev-eral days to assess the damage anddetermine what the best course ofaction is. Once the field hasheaded, and tillers that were un-able to head successfully can beidentified, a yield estimate can bedetermined.

A good average for wheat is1,000,000 kernels per bushel, cal-culating to about 23 kernels persquare foot per bushel of yield. Ifyou have the luxury of assessingyield potential after flowering hascompleted and kernel developmenthas begun, you can count kernelsper head in several heads and usean average. If this is not the case,you would have to use an estimate,with a larger range of error.

Count the viable heads persquare foot in several places in thefield. For 12” rows, count theplants in 12” of row, for 10” rows –14.4” of row, for 7.5” rows – 19.2”of row, and for 6” rows – 24” of row.Viable heads per square foot mul-tiplied by kernels per head, di-vided by 23 will provide a roughestimate of bushels per acre.

Aster LeafhoppersThe heavy rains that inundated

most of South Dakota with muchneeded moisture recently helpedbring aster leafhopper populationsdown. Numbers of these leafhop-pers in a spring wheat field justoutside of Brookings decreasedfrom 20 leafhoppers per sweep toabout 2 per sweep. These leafhop-pers are not associated with eco-nomic damage to wheat or alfalfa.
